1. Recycling Materials Based on Environmentally Friendly Techniques
2015 by Dimitris Achilias
In the pursuit of reducing solid waste accumulation in landfills, the imperative is to discover environmentally friendly recycling techniques. "Recycling Materials Based on Environmentally Friendly Techniques" aims to address this need by presenting recent methods for recycling various materials, including plastics and wood, and underscoring the significance of polymer composting. This book is intended for professionals, recycling firms, researchers, academics, and graduate students in waste management, polymer recycling, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and physics. The content encompasses five chapters covering topics such as the recycling of polystyrene, polyesters, PC, WEEE, and wood waste, in addition to discussions on compostable polymers and nanocomposites.

3. Successful Approaches to Recycling Urban Wood Waste
2002 by U.S. Department of Agriculture
This book offers insights through eight case studies that spotlight the achievements of urban wood waste recycling initiatives and enterprises. These cases illustrate the triumphs in repurposing recovered materials, such as lumber and lumber products, mulch, boiler fuel, and alternative landfill covers. Wood waste constitutes a substantial portion, roughly 17%, of the total waste deposited in municipal solid waste landfills across the United States. In 1998, urban areas generated over 160 million tons of wood waste, with 29.6 million tons available for reclamation. Similarly, that year, new construction activities yielded 8.7 million tons of wood waste, with 6.6 million tons accessible for recovery, while demolition processes generated 26.4 million tons, with 9 million tons available for reuse. The chosen case studies met specific criteria: they emphasized collaboration among communities, businesses, governments, and non-governmental organizations; demonstrated efficient resource utilization; sustained the development of enterprises; and showcased a high benefit-to-cost ratio.
